Okay sooo… let’s just say I’m running a business. And let’s say I don’t have enough furniture for my bus. I could either buy some affordable furniture or I could spend three times as much renting furniture. Why the fuck would I choose to spend more? BECAUSE I’M A LOSER.

"It's a plan to build housing, including for renters, on a scale not seen in generations." This only works if Premiers are on board. Will @PremierScottMoe cooperate to help fix the housing crisis? Will the @sask_ndp if they win in 2024? #skpoli #sask #HousingCrisis

Abortion in Canada is basic healthcare. No laws regulate it, it's all regulated within health. A Sask doctor who tried to foist his religion & anti-bortion views on a patient is charged with professional misconduct. saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/our-lord-and...

We know that over-sized personal trucks and SUVs are causing an increase in road deaths. We also know that Sask folk have a preference for such giant, killer vehicles. Too bad Sask cities can NEVER do anything about this on their own. We'll have to wait until the ENTIRE WORLD deals w/ it first.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if you're a GP/family doctor, you shouldn't be allowed to "conscientiously object" to basic health services. There are plenty of medical specialisations to choose from. Pick a different one. Like podiatry or men's health.

If you have been unable in nearly two decades to fix what you perceive to be the problems caused by the previous administration, maybe the problem isn’t the previous administration. Maybe the problem is your own ineffective leadership.

If you're in Saskatoon. Consultation survey re Millar Ave, walking & cycling. My opinion- if Marquis Dr is a template the city trues but fails intersections, does sharp path turns, has "cyclists yield to vehicle" signs - makes user experience rather bad. Link to survey: surveymonkey.ca/r/ZNX7LLX

Saw the giant billboard on the way I to the #yqr claiming the provincial gov’t has increased education spending by billions. And maybe they have, but not in a sustainable way, so in a year or two things will be worse than they are now. Put those promises in contracts!

Employers should not ask workers for sick notes from doctors. -Wastes doctor's time at a time of health care scarcity. -Exposes everyone in waiting room to the infection. -Stress on top of illness is harmful. -Shows distrust and adversarial employment relationships -Forces worker to pay. Just stop.

This is how health care funding works in this country. Perhaps the SK gov’t did not read its contract closely; they ought not be surprised they’re facing the prescribed consequences of their actions. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/feds-claw-back-private-patient-charges-1.7161577

If you cross reference the people mad about this and the people who claim that their bigotry is rooted in wanting to protect children, you will see it's one giant circle.

There are groups of parents and students out there that are asking why the needs of the few don't outweigh the needs of the many and I feel there is a far too large portion of the province that thinks the same.

Two new 4-bed group homes is great news and I don’t want to sound negative, but we could basically fill the Saskatoon one with patients we have waiting in hospital for placement. This is a drop in the bucket.

We could have had governments that legislated ventilation standards and paid sick days, instead we got health agencies that told us we don’t even need to isolate when we have COVID 🫠

The minimizers are organized, actively working to impede mask truths, and vaccine uptake. See Collateral Global, Brownstone Institute, etc. Shouldn't those who care about public health be as organized? Consider supporting the @cancovsoc.bsky.social. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

One impact of COVID that we don’t talk about enough is how people are avoiding medical care because of lack of precautions like masking in healthcare settings. This doesn’t show up as COVID deaths or hospitalizations but delays in care increases the mortality rate of other diseases like cancer.

The Sask Party saying teachers are holding a gun to their head seems like the proverbial gun wielding pot calling the kettle black. The Sask Party just put a gun to the heads of schools boards for extra funds last week.

Yes it’s bullshit for extracurricular activity to be cancelled; if teachers’ unpaid extra work is important to you, contact your MLA and tell them to put their promises of addressing class size and complexity in teachers’ contracts. Teachers aren’t the ones at fault here.

The provincial government is trying super hard to blame teachers for the government’s inability to solidify the government’s own promises in teachers’ contracts, after having removed school boards’ ability to address teachers’ contracts in this way. Don’t believe the government’s spin.
